Republicans Mental Health Beats Dems 2-1

In mental health, you are often as healthy as you think you are, and the mass psychosis many Democrats suffer from derives as much from their inner instinct that tells them they are probably acting out neurotic tendencies and committing social peccadillos [actually crimes in some cases] because they had a bad family background.

Most conservatives [and most of them are Republicans] have a well-ordered existence with goals they achieve in a slow but steady fashion. They have orderly family lives and usually go to Church or contribute to society as part of "giving back."

Democrats often have disorderly lives with bouts of addiction or other marginally self-destructive behavior. They are likely to be divorced or have a LGBT orientation. Or at least they consider themselves as victims of some sort of exploitation or conspiracy.

Of course, these are generalizations and some liberal Democrats live lives of harmony and orderly goal-oriented loving-kindness. And some conservatives are nasty and marginally sociopathic. But in the main the Gallup Poll linked above is valid.

I believe liberals and Democrats often dislike their parents and consciously pattern their lives against the advice they received at home when they were young.

In the end, temperament has as much to do with mental health as anything else. I as an independent have a moderate temperament, though, like Jonathan Swift, I suffer from "saeva indignatio" when I see injustice and the suffering of innocents.
